Erdogan is now hunting down business execs in foreign countries whom he believes are linked to the failed Turkey coup

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan attends the International Istanbul Law Congress in Istanbul, Turkey, October 17, 2016. REUTERS/Murad Sezer Turkey's ongoing post-coup purge is now targeting a new group of people: Business executives.

Some of the wanted businessmen reportedly helped fund Gulen's movement and almost a third of the businessmen are known to be abroad, according to Anadolu.

Police have also detained Erem Turgut Yucel, the chief legal officer at Dogan Holding, and Yahya Uzdiyen, the company's former CEO, according to the Financial Times. Dogan Holding owns Hurriyet, one of the country's main newspapers, CNN-Turk, and Istanbul's "Trump Towers."

Aydin Dogan, the founder of Dogan Holding, and Erdogan have been at odds for a long time with Hurriyet and CNN-Turk being among the country's media outlets most critical of the current government.

Turkey has been the target of numerous terrorist attacks in the past year, the latest one being an attack on an Istanbul nightclub on New Year's Eve, and an explosion in Izmir on January 5. It has been struggling economically too, with the lira falling to a record low in the first week of 2017.

Since the failed July coup that left more than 200 people dead and over 2,000 injured, Erdogan has promised to quell any branches of Gulen's movement in Turkey.

The Turkish government has already frozen the assets of hundreds of business people. More than 30,000 people suspected to be associated with Gulen's movement have also been arrested or fired. A lot of the arrests were made in the education sector, the police and judiciary.
